Fresh NSFW Amazons and Some Ghosties and Ghoulies

At some point last year I decided to add a few more units to our Armies of Arcana forces. I intend the army points values to stay the same (3000 points, for those of you keeping track at home), but I figure by having an excess of 3000 points' worth of figures, we can have a bit of fun building our forces before each battle so that it's not the same old units bashing away at each other each time and there will be an element of surprise when the opponent's force is revealed.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who play like this all the time, but for some reason I've never really done this in the past with my fantasy wargaming, always bumping up the total points value to correspond to available figures as they're acquired. So I'm looking forward to this change of pace once we start playing AoA semi-regularly again.

At any rate, here are the units I ordered and painted up for the Amazons: a unit of hoplite cavalry (Wargames Foundry) and a unit of Dionysian berserkers (Shadow Forge).



And here are the additions to the Undead forces: some rather outsized wraith-types from Black Tree Design, who I'll be fielding as normal Reapers to go along with my Great Reaper, and a ghoul escort for my troll-riding Necromancer (from the excellent Mantic range).



If there's one problem with the Mantic ghouls, it's that their flailing limbs don't rank up super easily.
